Love Poem: Empty Girls

Empty Girls

empty girls don't play with love
because they know it's never enough.
they seek out angels, way up high,
and dance to the rhythm of the sky.
empty girls won't fall apart
because they're guarded from the start.
 
floating through the city, do you see me?
a ghost never looked so pretty.
do you see me?
 
i thought about your face
for five months straight.
in my dreams, you really love me.
 
i wake in the same spot
on the wrong side of the bed
and replay the morning you said,
"empty girls aren't hard to find,
don't even have to treat them kind.
they look for things to make them whole,
so all you need is a little soul.
and when you're done, you press rewind
before you start to lose your mind
because empty girls just want your heart
to fill a void, there from the start."
